Wide Open

Wide Open

Heaven's gate were closed and there seemed to be no hope

For fallen man

We were prisoners of our sin, with no way to enter in

But God had a plan

The father knew there had to be a perfect sacrifice

So Jesus came, a cross was raised

And when he laid down his life

Chorus:

Wide open, wide open, they nailed his arms wide open

After three days in a cold grave,

The power of sin was broken

Now with outstretched arms he welcomes in

Everyone who trusts in him,

His nail-scarred hands hold heaven's gates wide open

For so long my eyes were closed,

I couldn't see a way of hope

For someone like me

And in my despair I cried there's

Got to be more to this life

Lord help me please

And the father said, there had

To be a perfect sacrifice

That's why Jesus came, a cross was raised,

And he laid down his life

Chorus

Bridge:

For every weary heart that aches

For every dream this world will break

There's a promise in its place, God has made a way

Chorus
